Why are people from Norway so good at editing files in Linux?

Their ancestors are vi-kings.

Saw a thing on tiktok where someone said:

"The single-sex bathroom argument is as antifeminist as it gets. It's a total surrender to patriarchy, because it assumes that men not only cannot control themselves around women, they shouldn't even bother to try."

And holy shit that's fire.

I am but a strange mushroom on the mycelial network that is the internet

I intentionally say "Move slow and fix things" as the rejection of "Move fast and break things", as opposed to the more popular "Move deliberately and fix things".

Because I want, very specifically, for *slow* to be seen as a virtue. Slow gives time for people whose entire life focus isn't what we're working on to react to changes, provide feedback that change is breaking things for them, participate in consensus process moving forward.

Look, I have many problems with Wikipedia, most of all its deletionism, but its editorial slant isn’t “woke”. It’s centrist tech bro. Star Trek Season 27 episode 43? Needs its own article. FLOSS project with five users? Needs its own article. Everything else? Relevance criteria! Literal expert scientist contributed something? We don’t accept primary sources!

But until there’s something better, yeah, we should stand in its defense.

i don't like the word transmisandry because see

transmisogyny describes the particular misogyny trans fem folks face due to the intersection of being trans and being fem

what is sometimes referred to as transmisandry does not describe the misandry trans masc folks face due to the intersect of being trans and being masc

more often than not, it actually describes the misogyny trans masc folks face for daring to be trans

for daring to take away an object that was meant to be for the cishet male gaze and thus depriving them of a woman they were entitled to

I feel like this image should be posted in response to anyone who defends Brian Thompson:
